Has anyone done a single turndown exhaust ?
Wondering how it would look.

 

So no one's done a turndown exhaust before ???

 

Doesn't look like it. Google s2k challenge tas and tar or js racing exhaust i think they all look good. I say do it and take pics

 

Wtfn is turn down exhaust?

 

I'm going to assume he wants the exhaust to end before the rear axle and just turn down. If I'm right it's a horrible idea in a hatchback as the fumes can be pulled into the car. You want the exhaust to exit behind the rear bumper.

Watching this again reminds me of the people on the new street drug "flakka". The resemblance is uncanny. Coincidence? Think not.

 

sg motorsport has done a single 3.5" turn down exhaust.

 

^^ coupled with their longtube headers, producing probably the sexiest exhaust note ever to leave the VQ.

 

F'n Trav!!! That was coffee-out-da-nose hilarious.

Already in a jocular mood then this.

But back to OP's original question...

Back in the day, I ran an over-the-axle-then-dump exhaust on one of my jacked-up (Gabriel Hijackers FTW!!) Chevies. Looked pretty cool due to the cam pulsed cold exhaust - brakkety brakkety brakk brakk.

However, on a Z, since the exhaust goes under the rear axle line, this would require short turn downs at the rear exit BEFORE the axle line - potentially creating ground clearance issues- particularly on a lowered car. Evidence the usually beat up Y-pipe flex pipes.

No real advantage power nor lookswise to a turn down, IMO.

If you wanna do something that gives it that "race look" (operative word being "look"), 45-degree the pipes, exiting aft of the doors. However, as was stated in this thread, good chance of exhaust fumes in the cabin.

Or side pipes.

This tipe of exhaust is popular on RX7s and some other applications. Here's an RE Amemiya titanium one.

 

Tis beautiful. Turn down all the pipes.

 

Turn down...for?

 

Is this just to prevent black rear bumbers?
